Didn't Expect (Book 2 of the KBI series)

Chapter 3 - What. The. Fuck.

What. The. Fuck.

"Hayley baby," I paused in my tracks and my eyes widened beyond my forehead, "You're going to bed? Without me?"
~~
I was hesitant to turn around. My eyes stayed locked on the step in front of me. This couldn't be real. Nope, it wasn't real.I thought back to my assumption that I made before my parents went on their trip.

'It would be too predictable.' I remember thinking, but because I thought that, suddenly it was unpredictable. Nice one, Hayley.

I couldn't move, my back was still turned, and I couldn't figure out the proper way to react. Should I run into his arms, tell him I missed them and have an emotional moment or should I, just as easily, beat him up for making me wait so long? My eyes squinted as I stared at the stairs and dots began to connect. I knew that it must've been his decision because that dumbass runs everything.

Before I could even decide, another familiar voice rang through my ears, this time, travelling from above me. The accent left no room for debate on who was at the top of my staircase.

"Hayley, you didn't tell us your house was so nice. That shower head really does something to me."

My mouth dropped and I slowly lifted up my gaze. From his feet, to his legs, up to only a towel wrapped around his waist, and the abs he wore on full display. There stood Val, the Sin of Lust, and one of the more brutal members, in all his glory. Finally, I met the eyes I haven't seen in a year. His hair had gotten longer and he styled it slicked back into a man-bun. His eyes locked on mine, dancing with amusement.

I couldn't speak. I couldn't place why I was so frozen.

Finally, I thawed myself out.

Now, remember how I was confused on whether or not I want to have a touching moment or beat their asses?

Of course, it was going to be the latter.

"What the fuck." I breathlessly stated. Kai being several feet behind me seemed miles away. I could only focus on one Sin at a time. I continued, not breaking eye contact with Val, "Val."

"Yes?" He answered as if he was innocent.

"Val." I said again in a harsher, stressed tone.

"Yes?" He mimicked me.

"Val."

"Ye-"

"Again?" I nearly jumped out of my skin at the sound of another recongnizable voice as it continued. "Every time someone in this group always has to repeat and replay the same sentence - over and over again."
Finally, I turn around and capture the scene before me.

I'm sorry, but WHAT. THE. FUCK.

"That's the only think in your vocabulary, isn't it?" Kai spoke up smirking at me. It was something as simple as him giving me an expression and my knees were already weak. That smirk would make penguins migrate.

"Not again. Kai, I told you last time to stay out of my narration." I told him sternly as Val walked past me down the steps, smelling fresh because he used my body wash.

"I know, I know." He put his hands up in defense, "But the penguin line? Really?"

My anger decided to show up to the party as my brain tried to rationalize how I truly felt in the moment. And with Kai standing in front of me, in the flesh, the need to just be in his arms was overwhelming. I needed to combat it. He doesn't get to leave me for this long with not a single word of communication and expect me to be all over him whenever he decides to pop back up.

"Shut up! I'm fed up, Kai! " I yelled and stormed over to him, getting the chance to punch his chest over and over without him moving a single inch. He peered down at me with a playful mischief exuding from his eyes.
